Surgical Critical Care
Surgical critical care doctors treat surgery patients who also have acute, life-threatening or potentially life-threatening health conditions. They’re part of a highly specialized Wellstar surgery team dedicated to improving outcomes.
Surgical Critical Care at Wellstar
Surgery can be physically demanding for patients, especially if you have a pre-existing condition. Wellstar surgical critical care physicians use their advanced knowledge and skills to care for adults and children with a variety of health conditions who are also undergoing surgery.
These expert doctors, who are not surgeons, care for patients in our operating rooms, surgical intensive care units, burn units, emergency departments and other non-hospital locations. To give these patients the focused, multidisciplinary attention they require, surgical critical care physicians work closely with other surgery team members and clinical specialists.
